Match Thread Doncaster Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Jan

Is there a league 1 program next weekend whilstt 4th roubf is on?

If so i am right up for kicking off we fall from 4th.....

7 games being played apparently. Though that's from CWR so god knows.

Well that's a good win. Makes me think for the first time this season we might just have a chance.

Worrying. Whenever I get optimistic, we fall apart.

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

The team that have surprised me are Peterborough. I thought they’d be the ones to catch but we’re 7 points above them with a game in hand!

They're very imbalanced with remarkably good forwards but average to poor elsewhere. Theyve got plenty of the top 8 to play soon too so it could be over for them pretty soon.

We have more or less been in the top 6 all season, why has it took you so long to think this?

Surely no one left that doesnt beleieve we have a chsnce of autos now?

With Coventry 4th in the League for the last couple of games this post should show the increase in performance there has been in that time based on results.

Thanks for posting these mate, but I never have clue what the data is showing. Rating? Isn’t it better to show league position?

It is all because we had a good XMAS period that we are in with a shout

 

[glasgowfan]

very frustrating to have got such a huge win and made zero progress in the league with 5/6 of the teams around us also winning.

Welcome to reality. If you're near the top of the league, most of the teams around you will win most of the time.
Unless you are comfortably mid-table, life is stressful. Need to get used to it.

Not really, we’ve lost 3 games all season.

we have has a great season so far, Xmas has helped, but we are 4th today, wonder where we were when the taxi thread was created ?

 

[Liquid Gold]

I don’t think we’ve been in a better position at this part of a season since our first in the championship. Even league two we were struggling at this point if I remember correctly. We’ve got two good players in every position apart from striker, we’re playing great football, the team is helping we’ll, there is a connection with the fans and at the moment we’re not losing games.

I was really disappointed last week but to follow that up with a win here is great. I’d have always taken 4 points from these two although expected them the other way round.

Feet on the ground but very excited.

 

[matesx]

Just realised that including today that will be 3 away league games in a row after the next 2.

Unusual

A hard fought ground out win. Not at our best certainly,especially 2nd half,but good teams don’t play well and still win-right?

Next week was supposed to be at home but postponed due to FA cup, I believe we were supposed to be at home on the third round weekend as well

I can't let myself believe but my heart is very close to tying my head up and locking it in a cupboard.

Don't set him off. He'll start posting chess videos...

 

[shmmeee]

In theory philosoraptors method is better for this season with teams on different games played so much, it should normalise out both games played and who has played who. Not sure it's perfect but it's a nice extra data point.

 

[MusicDating]

I don't know what it's like on ifollow, but it's horrible listening on CWR. I felt sick the whole of the second half thinking they'd score every time they crossed the halfway line (it was probably like that with Rob Guerney but that seems a lifetime ago). Huge huge win.

 

[Rodders1]

Awesome result ......

Shipley is starting to look like a real talent. Just so physical and technically great too!

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Absolutely. They were scoring for fun not so long ago. They've certainly lost the plot.

I hope Rotherham loses the plot soon.

Nah it’s because Clive is a terrible commentator. He sounds more excited when the opposition attack than us. Twit.

That's an awful thing to hope for. I don't want their football team to continue to do well but I wouldn't wish anything awful on an entire town.

Physical but cant last 90 minutes?

 

[clint van damme]

just back. It's performances like that that win things.
Not the most pleasing on the eye, but get the job done and come home with 3 points.
MR got it wrong last week in my opinion but he was spot on today.
But it's so tight we need to be doing it week in and week out now. I really hope next week isn't a draw. The games are coming thick and fast and we can do without a replay.

 

[clint van damme]

you can't buy what Shipley gives us. Committed to the club, can play and is improving all the time, connects the fans with the players, the way he was at the end was just brilliant. If he lost both his legs tomorrow in a freak accident I'd still have him in the bench.
That owl c**t was right, he's better than Bayliss.

It wasn't that scary there tbh. Donny had fook all up front. Although they did target mccallum alot second half

I genuinely love Shipley more than my missus. There I said it.

I love Shipley as well! But to be fair he and 10 Bags are very different players in how they operate on the pitch - and last year's formation was not set up for 10 Bags' key strengths. I personally think he'd be brilliant with this system.
